    Chapter 96 The Unhappy South


    Ss frowned unhappily. “Don’t follow me around. I have business to tend to.” Then, he told Landon,


    “Youing or not, Landon?”


    “Of course I am,” Landon replied. He told Old Man Nn that he woulde another time and left the


    house behind them.


    Silence was theirpanion in the car until Gianna whispered to her son, who appeared to be


    unhappy, “What happened to you?”


    Ss listened intently. If he was right, South didn’t talk to him that much earlier.


    South was ying with his phone. “Nothing,” he said. “Are you upset?” Gianna was curious.


    “No.” South took a deep breath. Then, Ss interjected in an attempt to make conversation, “What’s the


    story you told Great-grandpa today, South?” .


    “Nothing.” South answered indifferently.


    Now even Landon could see he was upset. What happened? He’s fine in the afternoon, well, aside


    from him getting quiet after Zoe came.


    Gianna tried to cheer him up. “We moved to a new ce. It’s just a hop, skip, and jump away from


    Landon’s house. Do you like it?” That grabbed his attention, since he was a kid after all. “Why are we


    moving?” Gianna replied calmly, “So you can y thetest games Landon develops.” “Right. It’s just


    because you want him to take care of me at all times.” He pouted. “Shh. Keep this between us. We


    don’t want him to hear that.” Landon looked annoyed. “At least whisper when you talk about secrets.


    Everyone and their mother could hear you.” South raised his chin. “Watch your tongue.”


    “I’m just telling the truth,” Landon retorted.


    “Mommy, Landon took me along and yed until three in the morning. I kept telling him I want to sleep,


    but he kept saying st game’ every time.” South even looked at Landon provocatively. “Landon!”


    Gianna was going to hit him. “Can you be more responsible? I thought I told you no all-nighters!” “No,


    we didn’t!” Landon dodged her hit and pointed at South. “Hey, we promised to keep this a secret.”


    South grinned at him. “I’m just telling the truth.” This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Pointing at him angrily, Landon dered, “You little snitch! No more new games for you!” South crossed


    his arms and snorted. “Don’te to me if you run into any technical problems then.” That made


    Gianna feel amused. “Friendships end so easily.” Ss looked at them through the rear-view mirror and


    felt that South was sulking. There was no reason for him to ignore Ss, and even when Ss tried to


    start a conversation, South wasn’t too enthused. After getting the groceries anding back to Muse


    Penins, they bumped into Kate, who had just arrived via taxi. Landon looked at her and mocked,


    “And what brings you here?” She rolled her eyes. “Not for you, that’s for sure. Piss off.” “This is my


    turf!” “No! This is Gianna’s turf!” Landon was about to retort further, so she pointed at him. “You aren’t


    going to say no, are you?” Then, Ss disembarked, and Kate panicked. I knew someone important


    was here. No wonder Gianna called me over. She changed into her polite mode instantly and greeted,


    “Hello, Mr. Nn.” “Hello.” Ss nodded.


    After some small talk, they went into house Number 5901 of Block No. 3. When they entered, what


    greeted them was a huge French window. The sun was setting now, and the light that sprinkled the


    house felt warm.
